Scanning Directly to Public Folder

SMTP and POP are disabled on the Exchange server and Outlook 2007 clients are configured with two accounts; the default is our external POP email host and the second is the exchange server for the mailbox store.

My customer has a KonicaMinolta 7272 Scanner/Printer/Copier. End users often scan documents from the 7272 to a folder on our file server (separate server from the exchange server), then email others inside the office with the scanned document as an attachment. This means that we have a copy of the scanned document on the file server, a copy in the originators sent items and a copy in each of the reciepients inbox folders.

I would like to setup a public folder to recieve scanned documents directly from the 7272. I can configure the 7272 with an SMTP IP, port, DNS IP & NIC Domain Name.

How can I create a mailbox or account that recieves directly into a public folder? Has anyone ever setup such a system on similar hardware?

If you aren't using SMTP with Exchange (it is very hard not to, but I guess you have decided to cripple the product in that way), then you are not going to be able to send scans to a public folder. Mail enabling the public folder requires SMTP access and even if you were to bounce the email off your ISPs SMTP server, you have no way to get the message in to Exchange.

Use Exchange as it was designed to, which is where Exchange is responsible for all email, rather than the POP3 connection to your ISP (why are you doing that anyway?) then you could email the Public Folder.
